RGG Precision Nippers
Precision nippers for miniatures, engineered to cut clean
Precision nippers for miniatures and scale models, the RGG are engineered to remove plastic parts from their sprues with exceptionally clean cuts. The sharp, angled blade reduces cleanup to a minimum and makes sprue removal fast, precise, and effortless.
Made for miniatures and more
Redgrass sprue nippers are just as capable with science fiction and fantasy wargaming plastic kits as they are with train, plane, and warship modelling. Any scale modeller can benefit from using RGG Precision Nippers during the assembly process.
Ergonomic by design
A custom spring mechanism and soft grips keep the hands comfortable across long assembly sessions, without strain or fatigue.
Premium stainless steel
An extremely sharp single edge forged from premium stainless steel holds its keenness through countless sprues.
Safe storage cap
A protective cap keeps the blade covered between sessions, so the nippers stay sharp and the workbench stays safe.
Like a hot knife through butter
These single-blade sprue clippers are built for a close, precise cut, making the clipping process quick and easy. The distinctive, comfortable handle gives you consistent control no matter how long the assembly session runs.
RGG Precision Nippers offer one of the closest cuts available on the market in the category of affordable, premium model cutters.
Sharper than you think
A sharp, clean cut saves you time and effort. Very few painters enjoy the moment of the build process that revolves around removing models from their sprues, but with the RGG Precision Nippers it becomes quick and painless. The perfectly shaped, high-quality steel blade also ensures minimal cleanup afterwards: one clean cut is enough.
Why do you need them?
To work with plastic components from a sprue, you need a pair of sprue cutters to separate each component from its gate. When removing components, cut the smallest parts first, for instance the piece adjoining a delicate hand, head, or weapon. This method puts less pressure on the parts most liable to break. Redgrass cutters glide through sprues and apply as little pressure on the plastic as possible, so component removal stays easy.
Your figures stay safe during the removal process. The sharp tip on the Redgrass Precision Nippers lets you cut each component accurately and close to the model. A clean cut means you are less likely to damage your figures, or yourself, during the assembly stage. Each cut also leaves as little excess plastic attached as possible, which shortens the clean-up work in the second half of the build.

After 4 years, it’s still my go-to snippers for GW models cutting. That’s a true testament of lasting quality.

Exactly what i needed for the job. Don’t use them on cutting bigger pieces of plastics but for the detailed stuff they are amazing

I’ve heard people say this tool cuts plastic like a hot knife through butter—and honestly, it’s true! I recently bought the new Redgrass cutter along with another brand to compare them, and I also have experience with the classic Tamiya one. Out of all of them, this is by far the best.
I absolutely love using it. The cutting precision is excellent, and it feels really solid. Another thing I especially appreciate is the handle—it’s not bulky at all. I have small hands, so it’s super comfortable for me to work with for long periods.
Highly recommended if you’re into miniature building or model kits. It’s definitely worth the investment.

I’ve been looking for a good pair of nippers and these do not disappoint. They’re sharp and cut plastic with ease and are on my must have list of tools.

By a great distance the best nippers I’ve owned, really sharp nice clean cuts and can get in the smallest spaces. Please follow the supplied recommendations with what to cut as they aren’t indestructible if used incorrectly

I wasn’t expecting that much of a difference, but these nippers are way better than my old ones. Super clean cuts, no stress marks, and they feel solid but still really precise. You can tell they’re proper quality the second you pick them up.
Highly recommend – proper tool for the job!

With this, clipping plastic feels like butter! does a amazing job.
only thing is that my big hands struggle a little bit with the size of the handle.

Those are by far the best nippers I have ever had. I held back for too long but I’m already regretting my time and money invested in other lesser good nippers. There is just no better precision nipper out there, tested them all.

I have owned the precision nippers for ~1.5 years now and have absolutely loved them! I did have an issue where my first pair broke within the warranty period. Luckily, I was able to provide photos to Redgrass, and they helped replace them in a super timely manner. I was so happy as these are my favorites!
